I have only been here once, but the food was amazing! It's such a cozy place to eat, but there's an outdoor patio if you want the outdoor experience. I had to wait a little bit for the food, but the service was made with a smile. The staff is always friendly and you get what you pay for the drinks are on point and you have a very pleasurable experience. Two thumbs up if I had four I'd put four thumbs up. read more

We were heading to Elon University and opted to stop in Mebane for dinner. First choice was Bright Penny Brewing but that turned out to be inside a Tanger outlet ... so we went to the Wooden Nickel Pub in the historic district. Glad we made the switch. Sat in a screened-in area off the main bar/pub area. Place specializes in chicken, chicken wings and burgers. Had the Nash-fil-A chicken sandwich with fried green beans. Sandwich was tasty if a bit messy and fried green beans were awesome. Beer selection was impressive and service was very attentive, with multiple staff members sharing responsibilities. read more

The Woden Nickel has great small town pub vibes. I highly recommend the crispy, meaty and flavorful wings. You won't be disappointed!

Wooden Nickel Pub never disappoints. Rotating taps, fresh chalkboard menus every day, fun and attentive staff, and a cozy but sometimes raucous atmosphere. Don't skip out if you're in downtown Mebane! read more

This place is a fun small pub in the heart of town. The food is the best pub food we had in town. Great flavor on the fish tacos, they were amazing on a hot day! The Nickel-fil-a was so good! I've never had a fried chicken sandwich like it before! The beer selection is on point and the service was very friendly and quick. read more

We stopped by on a Sunday afternoon on our way home from a weekend trip. We were just wanting something lite so my husband and I split wings and I had a salad. It was so good the service was quick. Everything was great we will definitely stop buy again when in Mebane read more

Great food and service! Parking on the street can be a little tricky but nice area. Casual vibe

The food was good. The sauces were a little different. We went on industry night. The service was lack luster at first but the bartender did more than make up for it. Would highly recommend going here. The ambiance is very relaxed. I would definitely go back. read more

I recently went here before my weekly Mahjong game at a shop across the street from this restaurant. The food is very good (be sure to have the fish & chips) and the servers are always nice. We have gone back and few times since discovering it and plan to visit again. A solid restaurant in a town with not a lot of good choices! read more

The service was very friendly (we had two people OTHER than our waiter helping us out and asking if we needed anything). The food was fantastic! I had the Dragon Bowl Salad and every ingredient was fresh and delicious! The flavors blended well and the portions were pretty generous! I got some wings to-go that I ate for dinner tonight, and they were absolutely amazing! Honey BBQ, not too hot, but plenty of flavor. I would recommend Wooden Nickel to anyone! read more

Our go-to for wings in Mebane. Easy takeout ordering also via the Local app, which I appreciate. This is not a rush in and eat fast establishment so if you need that, order takeout ordering go fast food. This is where you go to eat great, locally sourced food and enjoy a drink with friends. We know one of the farmers that sourced their beef personally, which is very cool. The vibe is Southern + Irish? Inside has dark green walls and a great bar, but black and white checkered floors. Outside there's a screened-in porch with bar height seating as well as a long bench/table seating. Fans or heaters to keep it moderately cool or warm, depending on the weather. Definitely recommend if this is what you're looking for. read more

I went in this particular establishment with my husband and I was not pleased with any of the experience I had here. I am an Ex-server, I understand staffing issues. I did not appreciate the fact that there is not a sign telling guests to seat themselves, nor was I greeted at the door when I walked in. I had to wait for a server to come clean the table off mind you multiple tables had been sitting dirty for over 15 minutes. The server told me that she would come back in a little bit while we got settled into the table. I waited 15 minutes to order my food. My food was not at all what I had expected from this establishment. Instead of getting a normal amount of fries I got mostly crispy bits from leftover fried food. I also watched my server walk past my table 3 separate times and never once asked if we needed anything (like water). After I finally got a chance to order my food I waited 15 more minutes for my food to arrive (mind you it's a Tuesday night in Mebane). I ordered the Italian grinder Sammy, it's just fried bologna with cheese and banana peppers. I also had a hard time seeing the menus because of the lack of lighting (I understand it's a pub) but the patio was not well lit. I also watched as I waited for my food to arrive other tables get their entrees before me and they had sat down after me. I also received my check and was charged an extra .85¢ for what I am not sure. I also waited an additional 20 minutes for a single cup of ranch. Needless to say I will not be headed back until they get their establishment under control and have standards put in place. read more

Wooden Nickel Pub - Italian grinder Sammy - Pubs Near Me - Mebane, North Carolina

One of the best craft beer selections I've seen in a while! The sides and sauced wings are great. My only complaint is the two different dry rubs of the week I've tried, seemed like they forgot the salt... so they were kinda bland read more

Best fried pickles and burgers I have ever had. We drive a ways to get here and worth it.

Enjoyed our Saturday lunch at the Wooden Nickel! I had the Dragon Dance Power Bowl Salad with grilled chicken added, and my boyfriend enjoyed the grilled chicken panini. Both were yummy! read more

Took a little day trip to Mebane for a little shopping and tried this place for lunch. very enjoyable, super friendly staff and tasty food. Highly recommended for lunch and a good beverage. read more

Stumbled on this place by accident. The restaurant is in a non- descript storefront with absolutely no signage. If the woman in the shop next door wouldn't have told us about it we would have just walked by. First the good: Service- prompt friendly and attentive Food- we had onion rings that were great. Wife had the cheeseburger that she said was great, but in my opinion it was a little on the small side. I had the Power Bowl with chicken which I thought was both unique and satisfying. Atmosphere- is spartan, but not unpleasant. The real problem was the sound level of the music, which was more suited to a disco than a restaurant. read more

Fantastic! Mixed drinks and food were tasty, friendly service. A hidden gem in Mebane.

If I could marry a burger, I would. Specifically I would the Hangover burger which seems to be a preventative, in my experience. As my bridesmaids, I would have the bar staff, and for the band- the kitchen. Dont skip this place whilst in town, especially if it's after 9. 10/10 for the Glass Quarter aka the The Rusty Nickel aka the The Wooden Nickel. read more

The food was good, the waitstaff was excellent. We will be returning soon. A weekend evening and the place had a good crowd but not too noisy. read more

Awesome spot in downtown Mebane. Love the specials and the burgers. Great beer selection. Something for all

This place was great, the brisket was amazing. I would definitely come Back here. I would recommend it to anyone for the food. read more

Treat yourself! The great food makes up for the small space at both Mebane & Hillsbrough locations.

Best burger we've had in a long time! Pleasantly surprised. Our waitress was amazing! Very clean restaurant.

Great farm to table food. They have their own farm where they get majority of their food items. They need larger accommodations. I love a noisy restaurant where you don't have to worry about bothering other customers. My family is loud and love to have fun when we go out. This is the place to do just that. We had a blast. read more

New to the area, and decided to give The Wooden Nickel a try. Unfortunately, our first impression left much to be desired. Upon arriving, we weren't greeted, so I took a seat in the porch. When I inquired about indoor seating, a server (older female) responded with extreme rudeness, saying, "I don't know, go look yourself." This lack of hospitality made me feel unwelcome, prompting me to leave without trying the food. Disappointing. read more

Not all that for the money! Had to ask for a fork and was questioned why we needed one! We needed it for the one tablespoon of slaw!

We've been anxiously waiting for the the WNP to come to Mebane, and have been a fan of the Hillsborough location for years. Their people, beer, burgers, and wings cannot be beat. If you like to be waited on hand and foot, this is probably not a good spot for you. It's fast-paced and crowded with limited seating. If you like genuinely awesome people, a more "raw" vibe, a laid back atmosphere and excellent music... this is it. You will likely not get a seat as you walk in and may need to wait (either standing outside or on the patio). But once you settle in and grab a pint and some grub, you may start to understand why this place is so popular with locals. read more
